Abstract
In the context of our conference, my contribution will probably seem to be a little bit old fashioned, since it is not directly based on an analysis of speech acts. I am afraid, however, that the relationships between speech act theory and semantics are still to be studied from the viewpoint of ‘classical’ semantics also.
